tween % ,, &c. Everybody was seller on tue
showing made by tho weather map. There was
llttlo rsin anywhere throughout the corn belt,
hut some operators took the ground that every
thing was 80 thoroughly dry that half an
inch Of rain would make no impression;
hat corn was ruined any way, ana tina
any quantity OF rain now would SIMPLY
break tho market without hclplng tho
contht oins any. Inside Of "a quarter of an
hour September got up to 99i.c.: later there
wero reports that no more rain was probable.
and the early bears developed into the strong
est kind OF bulls. During the last half hour
they put the corn market up at lively rstc.
Nearly everybody wanted to buy, aud the com
petitivo bidding sent september quickly from

with yesterday. wero Saifc lower for Septen-
Der, but rather firm, aud &c higher Tor August.

more traders In the wheat pit than on yes
